Times of crisis, of disruption or constructive change, are not only predictable, but desirable. They mean growth. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Fyodor DostoevskySince man cannot live without miracles, he will provide himself with miracles of his own making. He will believe in witchcraft and sorcery, even though he may otherwise be a heretic, an atheist, and a rebel.
Fyodor DostoevskyI am a fool with a heart but no brains, and you are a fool with brains but no heart; and weโre both unhappy, and we both suffer.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
